Abstract

Describes the experience of Fort Collins Public Library, CO. in their converison from a locally-developed system to the Dynix system in 1993. Discusses how to manage issues affecting public service such as building closures and collection weeding, and considers the benefits and pitfalls of using volunteer assistance. Outlines the problems encountered in converting the existing database to MARC and in defining new cataloguing standards. The hiring of an automated consultant was critical to the task of successfully installing a new online catalogue

Abstract

The predictive power of the h-index has been shown to depend on citations to rather old publications. This has raised doubts about its usefulness for predicting future scientific achievements. Here, I investigate a variant that considers only recent publications and is therefore more useful in academic hiring processes and for the allocation of research resources. It is simply defined in analogy to the usual h-index, but takes into account only publications from recent years, and it can easily be determined from the ISI Web of Knowledge.

Abstract

Electronic services librarianship has become a new position in many libraries to deal with the new services generated from the emerging technologies. In this article, the authors define this position and discuss reasons for it. Both sides of the issue are analyzed: that of the traditional librarian, whose expectations for this new staff line to bridge the gap between the library systems unit and the nontechnical library staff are high; and that of the library systems professional, who is more concerned about the library lifeline, OPAC. Electronic/network services librarians must get their work done without overstepping their boundaries. Nevertheless, this new professional is able to bring emerging technologies and applications to librarians, staff and users. This article describes problems and suggests solutions for the hiring process and the position's place in the organizational structure. A set of tips for the electronic services librarian to survive and thrive in the bureaucracy is also presented

Abstract

In an attempt to ascertain whether academic libraries were having difficulty in filling cataloging positions, a survey was designed and distributed to those libraries that advertised for full-time cataloging positions in College and Research Libraries News between July 2000 and June 2002. While a number of studies done in the last decade had examined the content of job advertisements, this study tried to determine the actual outcomes of individual library searches by contacting libraries that had advertised. Using a web-based questionnaire, the authors queried these institutions on their recruitment process and hiring success. The results of this survey provided confirmation of a continued, if not increasing, difficulty in recruiting catalogers for academic libraries. Some implications for a wider debate on library school training and the general direction of the profession are discussed.

Abstract

The Texas A & M University Modern Languages Department has been expanding its curriculum to include courses in Chinese. To support this curriculum, the Evans Library has recently acquired titles in Chinese. The Original Cataloging Department did not have the language expertise necessary to catalog these books in a timely manner. This project examined the feasibility of hiring student assistants with language expertise to assist the original catalogers. A graduate student, fluent in Chinese, was hired to transliterate the title page and verso, and provide descriptive information for fifty-five Chinese books. The student was also asked to provide a brief translation to assist in establishing LC Subject Headings and LC Classification numbers. Items for which copy was found on OCLC acted as a control for the accuracy of transliteration. Original catalogers then prepared the bibliographic records for the remaining titles. Utilizing the student's language expertise resulted in the processing of materials in a timely manner benefiting the university community.

Abstract

The past 2 decades have witnessed the emergence of information as a scientific discipline and the growth of information schools around the world. We analyzed the current state of the iSchool community in the U.S. with a special focus on the evolution of the community. We conducted our study from the perspectives of acquiring talents and producing research, including the analysis on iSchool faculty members' educational backgrounds, research topics, and the hiring network among iSchools. Applying text mining techniques and social network analysis to data from various sources, our research revealed how the iSchool community gradually built its own identity over time, including the growing number of faculty members who received their doctorates from the field that studies information, the deviation from computer science and library science, the rising emphasis on the intersection of information, technology, and people, and the increasing educational and research homogeneity as a community. These findings suggest that iSchools in the U.S. are evolving into a mature and independent discipline with a more established identity.

Abstract

In this article, I draw on interview data gathered in the High Energy Physics (HEP) community to address recent problems stemming from collaborative research activity that stretches the boundaries of the traditional scientific authorship model. While authorship historically has been attributed to individuals and small groups, thereby making it relatively easy to tell who made major contributions to the work, recent collaborations have involved hundreds or thousands of individuals. Printing all of these names in the author list on articles can mean difficulties in discerning the nature or extent of individual contributions, which has significant implications for hiring and promotion procedures. This also can make collaborative research less attractive to scientists at the outset of a project. I discuss the issues that physicists are considering as they grapple with what it means to be an author, in addition to suggesting that future work in this area draw on the emerging economics literature on mechanism design in considering how credit can be attributed in ways that both ensure proper attribution and induce scientists to put forth their best effort.

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to show how bibliometrics would benefit from a stronger programme of construct validity. Design/methodology/approach The value of the construct validity concept is demonstrated by applying this approach to the evaluation of the h-index, a widely used metric. Findings The paper demonstrates that the h-index comprehensively fails any test of construct validity. In simple terms, the metric does not measure what it purports to measure. This conclusion suggests that the current popularity of the h-index as a topic for bibliometric research represents wasted effort, which might have been avoided if researchers had adopted the approach suggested in this paper. Research limitations/implications This study is based on the analysis of a single bibliometric concept. Practical implications The conclusion that the h-index fails any test in terms of construct validity implies that the widespread use of this metric within the higher education sector as a management tool represents poor practice, and almost certainly results in the misallocation of resources. Social implications This paper suggests that the current enthusiasm for the h-index within the higher education sector is misplaced. The implication is that universities, grant funding bodies and faculty administrators should abandon the use of the h-index as a management tool. Such a change would have a significant effect on current hiring, promotion and tenure practices within the sector, as well as current attitudes towards the measurement of academic performance. Originality/value The originality of the paper lies in the systematic application of the concept of construct validity to bibliometric enquiry.

Abstract

Aims to inform researchers about metrics so that they become aware of the evaluative techniques being applied to their scientific output. Understanding these concepts will help them during their funding initiatives, and in hiring and tenure. The book not only describes what indicators do (or are designed to do, which is not always the same thing), but also gives precise mathematical formulae so that indicators can be properly understood and evaluated. Metrics have become a critical issue in science, with widespread international discussion taking place on the subject across scientific journals and organizations. As researchers should know the publication-citation context, the mathematical formulae of indicators being used by evaluating committees and their consequences, and how such indicators might be misused, this book provides an ideal tome on the topic. Provides researchers with a detailed understanding of bibliometric indicators and their applications. Empowers researchers looking to understand the indicators relevant to their work and careers. Presents an informed and rounded picture of bibliometrics, including the strengths and shortcomings of particular indicators. Supplies the mathematics behind bibliometric indicators so they can be properly understood. Written by authors with longstanding expertise who are considered global leaders in the field of bibliometrics

Abstract

The Nobel prize-winning author of "A Different Universe" argues that ours is an age of disinformation and ignorance, in which access to knowledge is becoming increasingly restricted and even criminalized. We like to believe that in our modern, technologically advanced world, information is more freely available and flows faster than ever before, and that this free flow of ideas is behind our remarkable creativity. The second part is right: the free flow of ideas is indeed essential to creativity. But according to Nobel Laureate Robert Laughlin, many forces in the modern world conspire to make acquiring information a danger or even a crime. More and more of the really valuable information is private property or a state secret, with the result being that it is now easy for a flash of insight, entirely innocently, to infringe a patent or threaten national security.Within the past ten years it has become illegal to circumvent anti-piracy measures (i.e. to understand encrypted communication) or to distribute code-cracking devices; it is now legal for corporations to monopolize certain forms of communication; and it is possible to patent sales techniques, hiring strategies, and gene sequences. Broad areas of two sciences, physics and biology, are now off limits to public discourse because they are national security risks. Our society is sequestering knowledge more rapidly and thoroughly than any before it.Thus we find ourselves dealing more and more with the bizarre concept of the Crime of Reason, the antisocial and sometimes outright illegal nature of certain intellectual activities. The increasing restrictions on such fertile scientific and technological fields as cryptography, biotechnology, and computer software design are creating a new Dark Age: a time characterized not by light and truth but by disinformation and ignorance. This short, passionately argued book, by a Nobel laureate in physics, offers a stern warning and protest against our apparent collective decision to relinquish our intellectual rights.

Abstract

Data is everywhere - praktisch bei allen wissenschaftlichen, staatlichen, gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten entstehen sie. Die Daten werden erzeugt durch Befragungen, mobile und eingebettete Systeme, Sensoren, Beobachtungssysteme, wissenschaftliche Instrumente, Publikationen, Experimente, Simulationen, Auswertungen und Analysen. Bürger, Wissenschaftler, Forschende und Lehrende kommunizieren durch den Austausch von Daten, Software, Veröffentlichungen, Berichte, Simulationen und Visualisierungen. Darüber hinaus führen die zunehmende Nutzung der visuellen Kommunikation für Unterhaltung und zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen sowie die rasche Zunahme der sozialen Netzwerke zu riesigen Datenmengen. Daten von Observatorien, Experimenten und Umweltüberwachung sowie aus der Genforschung und dem Gesundheitswesen generieren eine Größenordnung von Daten alle zwei Jahre, die weit über das Mooresche Gesetz hinausgeht - und dabei ist noch kein Ende in Sicht. Wissenschaftliche Publikationen sind Datengrundlage für die weitere wissenschaftliche Arbeit und Publikationen.

Content

"Der stetige Wandel macht auch vor Bibliotheken nicht Halt. Immer wichtiger werden neue Geschäftsprozesse und die optimale Vernetzung der unterschiedlichen Arbeitsbereiche. Das Behaupten der Spitzenposition in diesem Markt erfordert ständige Investitionen und Ausbau der Ressourcen. Mit der Obernahme der Sisis Informationssysteme GmbH und den dort vorhandenen Kenntnissen und Fähigkeiten wurde ein effizienter Weg gefunden, die gegenwärtige Marktposition auszubauen und die Produktqualität weiter zu verbessern. Die Sisis Informationssysteme ist ein im Markt bekannter und erfolgreicher Anbieter von Bibliothekssystemen und Portallösungen mit Kunden in Deutschland, der Schweiz und den Niederlanden. Wie OCLC PICA suchte auch das Sisis Management nach Lösungen, um weiterhin in Produkte und Marktentwicklungen zu investieren und die erreichte Marktposition und Produktqualität auszubauen. Der erfolgte Zusammenschluss bietet hierfür die besten Voraussetzungen. Künftig werden OCLC PICA und Sisis ihre Technologien, Fähigkeiten und Methoden zum Vorteil ihrer Kunden gemeinsam nutzen und aufeinander abstimmen und einen besseren und vor allem kundennäheren Service anbieten können. Durch die Verstärkung des Entwicklungsbereichs kann der Ausbau der vorhandenen Produkte fachlich und funktional vorangetrieben werden. Die Kunden werden von der wechselseitigen Nutzung innovativer Komponenten und dem erweiterten Produktportfolio nur profitieren."
